Sir John Macdonald Must Go.
THE LIBERAL PARTY WILL SOON CONTROL DOMINION
POLITICS, PERHAPS.
The fisheries question has become one of the
most important factors In the present election
contest In Canada A telegram from Ottawa
Sunday night says: ''Sir John Macdonald now uses
In his canvass statements from the American press
In which 1t is asserted that under liberal govern.
ment in Canada q more favorable settlement to
the United States OF the fisheries question would
be accomplished. Sir John and his party point to
this an indication that the liberals ii they are
placed in power by the people OF the Dominion,
would yield to any demands the United States
government might make, while his government
II continued in Office will enforce the provisions
Of the treaty TO the letter until Canada has Sc
cured all she can get. This argument he used in
the opera house in addressing large political
audience last night.
''On the other hand, the liberal party, under the
leadership OF Blake hold that their policy is that
Canada should have the right to make her own
commercial treaties, and that with power to do 50
the fishery difficulty and fair reciprocity treaty
with the United States would be accomplished at
once. From returns from all parts OF the Do
minion there is little doubt that there will be q
change OF government, and that Sir John Mac
donaid's administration will go to the wall. Blake
estimates the liberal majority at from fifteen to
twenty in the new parliament"

boy and younger child, in company with
several other children went OF a very short
distance from the house for amusement; but
soon the littlo boy expressed wish to go 10
his erandmother's, which was very near,
within sight, and as he had often been there
before his nurse did not object. But he
took wrong pathway, aud it was some

Prints were traced for q mile in the direction
of the Nottoway river, two miles distant,
and then became obliterated, and no further
trace could be discovered. Night came
with no tidings of the lost child. Lost lost!
LOST! Who can picture the unutterable hor-
ror and anguish of that devoted father and
mother, with their hearts filled such incon-
solable woe. With the break Of day the
search began again, joined in by all The
uejghbors and many citizens and the sur
rounding country for miles around was trav
ersed by the searchers; but alas, the dear
little treasure could not be found. SO Friday,
Saturday and Sunday passed with enlarged
efforts, but not trace could be discovered.
On Monday morning in secluded bend in
the Nottaway river, near the bridge, on the
Boydton plank road, the body of that bright
and beautiful boy was found floating near
the shore, aud thus tho mystery was u.
ravelled. On how sad to think of that dear
little boy, trudging through the heat and
sand, on, on, on, looking for home and loved

The fact discovered by the Massachusetts,
democratic committee, and published, that
of the five hundred aud sixty.five Massa
chusetts people holding federal Offices at
Washington five hundred and thirty -nine are
republicans, though not new to those who
have kept their eyes open, seems to have
startled the majority of the democrats in
this city, aud to have revived much of the
cutlery against mugwumpery, that had be-
gun to dwindle into passive acceptance Of
The existing condition. Whenever and wher
ever democrats meet here to day there are
heard complaints, erowls or even more en-
phatic condemnation OF the policy by which
such condition is possible all Of which. of
course, is highly gratifying to the repub'i-
cans.
While no definite determination has yet
been reached with regard to the release of
